Without breaching confidentiality, I am seriously considering major electrical issue, which rolled back both engines. It would fit the flight profile.

If thre was a liquid invovlved, the rotation could be the trigger for a problem.

It seems unclear if the latch mechanism was disabled on this aircraft. Given console replacement it's possible but unlikely

I am told that it will be available on Discovery Science in the US

Stil a better job than the one on Ch5 here. I had some input to the one you refer to but so did others and not all the stuff that was relevant made it to the screen unfortunately. The methodology behind the cuttoff switch design, confirmed by tdracer, was provided but not used. Obviously there was nothing new since the prelim report anyway, so nothing new for them to work with.
